In addition to the graphic design, the appearance of a magazine depends largely on the photos available. And although almost every mobile phone owner today can consider themselves a more or less talented photographer thanks to digital gadgets, there are clear differences between amateurs and professionals with the appropriate equipment. The photos, or rather image compositions, of one of our professional photographers can be found in the "Sea of Images" section. In his photo essay, Hamburg-based yacht photographer Nico Krauss portrays his home waters - the Baltic Sea. Unusual perspectives and the interplay of light and colour are his trademarks, but see for yourself.
40 years of shipyard history
The Italian luxury brand Pershing is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and we take a look back at the history of the shipyard and its most important models. From the very beginning, the interplay of shapes and colours in combination with powerful drives has been at the heart of the shipyard's design.
Technology and boating practice
In comparison, our technology topics seem almost mundane. And yet they are at least as important for our magazine: technology expert Hauke Schmidt explains what modern battery monitoring options are available and what you should bear in mind when installing the relevant devices. And anyone looking for easily stowable alternatives to the conventional dinghy can look forward to new inspiration.
Last but not least, a bit of boating practice. Trimming the drive and boat is a recurring topic of many reader questions. For this reason, we show you how to get the best out of power trim, flaps and the like - and save fuel at the same time.
